The US exports twice as much to us as we do to them. Time for some retaliatory tariffs.
First up: American cars.
Our streets could benefit from fewer shit-house stupidly large 'pickup trucks' that don’t fit in standard car parks.

You know what they say about people who drive yank tanks...
...got nothing to wank....!!!
I have the freedom to choose to buy, or NOT, purchase American (made in China) branded owned goods.
So for an extra fistful of Aussie dollars, I’ll WILL buy Australian, or European goods.
So Up yours, you Orange bastard King. 👑
Ditch AUKUS or voters need to ditch the Duopoly!
Must be tough to have to make up for… things 😂🤷♀️
I have the ssangyong Musso I’ve seen people post about the older model having 100’s of thousands of k’s on them and still going

For some stupid reason - Trump thinks he is going to get very filthy rich - by charging these tariffs -
He truly doesn't get it -
But then I thought: huge “pickup trucks” 😳
The fewer of those, the better for all of us!
Not economics. Sense.
It's not as if there aren't alternatives to American cars.
A Dodge RAM in Australia starts at 120k. A 20% tariff would see that start at 144k. Either 24k to the Aus coffers, or buyers choose a non-American vehicle.
It’s not like China tariffed iron ore when the got pissy at the Morison government just stuff they can do without or substitute
won't somebody please think of the low self esteem males who have the need to compensate!
Small, uh, self-esteem, males need to learn about power-weight ratio. 😂
('sides, I've ridden it 22,000km+ to work and back home. so there is that)
#1 Ford Ranger (62,593 deliveries)
#2 Toyota RAV4 (58,718 deliveries)
#3 Toyota Hilux (53,499 deliveries)
#4 Isuzu D-Max (30,194 deliveries)
#5 Mitsubishi Outlander (27,613 deliveries)
You are dreaming if you think males are the only people buying these stupid things.
we are discussing the US big-bad-boys tho.
not those silly little Japanese shopping trolleys.
Many people who drive them have no need for anything larger than a small sedan.
Starting to think that Australians would have eagerly voted Trump in if given the chance.
As for even owning them, there’s better built and longer lasting and safer, more comfortable vehicles from many other countries. No need for swasticars on Aussie streets.
The majority of those are:
- classic (vintage cars)
- motorcycles
- farm vehicles
- trucks and commercial vehicles
- parts
Not sure how “retaliation” works here?
OK.. (good luck!)
If you’re saying “Ban Harley-Davidsons” I’m sure there’s some votes in that. 🤪
(It’s not going to change much except hand the Federal government about $140m?)
The size, or even a length tax, is worth considering.
This is fiddling around the edges.
If the vehicles are dangerous, ban them. It’s as simple as that.
Get rid of them all
No more killer cars in Australia.

Buy anything from the U.S.
Sell anything to the U.S.
Let their citizens travel to the U.S.
Let U.S. citizens enter their countries with the exception of refugees requesting asylum.
I'll not be buying any American products from now on.
Do our best, anyway ...
Saw some dates in a shop today.
Sigh.... from USA.
I left them on the shelf.
Outright ban these monsters .
When I see one, I immediately think: big black truck equals small dick and even smaller brain!!!
Every American who lands on Australian lands has to watch all seasons of MAFS

*Outback only includes areas with a paved road.
I hate these big I’m entitled cars but tit for tat is for country’s that it actually affects
This is old news now but somehow the msm never got hold of this story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIGKCkS01EA
Let's give these Yanks true-blue dinky-di, heartwarming welcome and tell the all to go and get f'ed and to jam it up their clacker.
I am. You Are. We Are. Australian.
"Tell 'em to get stuffed." https://youtu.be/GXRHmE4pE38?si=d4vHsMOfFr7eV7rE
Not that anyone is buying them right now.
There are a lot of these here
Turned into a dude car because marketing implies your dick will grow if you own one
Gas guzzler as well
Trucks are useful as trucks not everyday vehicles but here we are
And super sorry about all of this
So many of us are normal
We don't need tariffs, we just need people who are not dickheads.
Get electric cars
